By industry

Different industries have different needs. Here is what to prioritize:

Healthcare & Dental

Key needs: Appointment inquiry handling, insurance Q&A, patient lead capture

Watch out: The AI should route clinical questions to staff, not answer them. Look for a clean handoff to a person.

Hotels & Hospitality

Key needs: Booking inquiries, room info, amenities, check-in details, local recommendations, multi-language support

Watch out: International guests need multi-language capability. WhatsApp matters for travellers.

Real Estate

Key needs: Property inquiries, scheduling viewings, lead qualification (budget, timeline, preferences)

Watch out: High-value leads need fast follow-up. Choose a platform with notifications and CRM-ready lead export.

E-commerce & Retail

Key needs: Product questions, return policies, sizing help

Watch out: Decide whether you need the chatbot to read your catalog. Hyperleap embeds on Shopify; it does not read your catalog.

Professional Services (Law, Accounting, Consulting)

Key needs: Initial consultation scheduling, service area questions, pricing info

Watch out: The AI should not give legal or financial advice. Use it for lead capture and FAQ, not professional guidance.
